stubborn cluster "brake" light HELPPP

I have a 98 gti vr6 (if it matters) When I bought it the "brake" light on the cluster was on. I started my journey at replacing the e-brake switch in the center console. Then I loosened the e-brake cable a bit incase it was just too tight. Now the switch works, and the "brake" like it not on at start up. It comes on after I get over 12mph ish and stays on Can someone please give me suggestions. I am out of ideas. Is there is sensor I am missing that could be bad? I just want to get a general direction to head before I go nuts
